How many states have a system where construction has to have a certain number of “energy credits” that add to the cost of a home?

In reply to Richard Kerr. Agreed, our hook ups / tap fees to our local water/sewer is $23,000 before you ever turn on the water. That is a HUGE chunk out of ones percentage to build a home in our area. Couple that with tight regulations on zoning and it is less expensive to build outside of the city limits and where public water/sewer is available and to build with a well and septic in a township with less stringent regulations and zoning laws.

In reply to Richard Kerr. Impact fees are included above in either the $11,791 or $12,184 depending on when they are charged and who pays them. Most details like this are relatively easy to see if you click on the link & read the full article.

A good summary. A good start. What about impact fees? Schools. Fire Districtrs. Sewer. Storm. Water. In some parts of the US such fees could double the $94k referenced above!
